I was there at the time. No woman ever found this conduct acceptable. There was just no where to go and no one to report it to. The guys around us, who were are friends, tried their darnest to protect us. On a ski trip with a mixed group of friends, when we stayed a ski lodge in Maine where the bathrooms were down the hall, I had to be escorted every time I went to the bathroom by a guy in my group, after being body-slammed against a wall by a guy across the hall who rammed his tongue down my throat. I'm so happy that these assaults are now coming to light.It's fine if the millennials want to change the social standards, but that's "going forward" from this point, you can't go back into the past, during a time when many of these accusations were /not/ considered socially unacceptable and then claim it was assault. You cannot hold the past to modern standards, it's dishonest and unfair.
There were supposed to be "standards" at that time as well, but there apparently were no "standards." Let's use "me, too," which extends to far more countries than the U.S., to establish some G.D. "standards."
mmhmm sure, pick out an obvious case of sexual assault and ignore the reality that some 30+% of Millennials believe that asking a woman out for drinks is sexual harassment, that lightly touching a woman on her upper arm is sexual assault, that telling a girl her hair looks nice today is sexual harassment. The Millennials are pushing for an entirely new realm of socially acceptable interactions between men and women - they've gone too damn far IMHO, but whatever it's their lonely single lives when they get what they want out of abusing this metoo thing.
